I made an account this week… first time since June 3rd. I used it for 5 mins. Saw ads in the comments I was typing a response to. Deleted the account. The few niche communities I want are just not worth it. Reddit is dead. That was the final test. It shall diminish and go into the west.

Isolinear chips have arrived.

Spotify is nearing the cut point for me. Subbed since 2011. The UI is getting worse…

I’m all for this protection but for the sake of argument isn’t use of the service consent to begin with? Or is that the American argument around these types of regulation?

I’m a pihole, vpn, adblock and invidious user ftr… 😂

Pretty much the same, captain.

Try a different invidious instance. The one that it defaulted to might be overloaded. It’s works great. I’m loving it.

Yep I’m very impressed with syncthing. I just started using it a few weeks ago.

What’s amusing is I am purposely not paying for bitwarden because of the check against darkweb leaks or whatever type feature when you pay. That’s seems like an anti privacy thing. I understand it’s a good idea albeit seems to expose a lot of information about you. I would like to do vaultwarden but don’t think I can trust self hosting myself without paying monthly for a vps which I don’t want to do. Home Internet hosting seems to unreliable to me for something that important.

Just random thoughts of mine here.

I’ve had a Spotify sub for 10+ years. I’m getting really close to ditching it because imo the app design is getting worse as prices increase… I was super disappointed in the car thing too. Spotube is a really nice alternative that’s foss. Checkout https://spotube.netlify.app/.

I’m in this graph and I like it.

Yeah I’m mostly on my subscription. Go to all to find new content but that’s where I’ll end up blocking communities and depending on the day that’s incredibly annoying to experience.

I think it’s unique that we see more different sides and not just a US echo chamber that reddit was. However some communities of all spectrums have their idiots and communities that brigade stuff are very annoying. The idea that these communities exist is not the problem. I just block what I don’t want to see. I am ready for the block instance by user feature. I have to play wack a mole right now.

Is the pluriverse term a jab at the fediverse? That term seems too coincidental to not be. Equivalating the fediverse to a flavor of the week social media the writer was experiencing?

6 pro here and I say the same. Best phone I’ve had since my s7 active. Everything between that and this was garbage. Well, I did like my lg g8 thinq but it had an unplanned swimming incident. I’m going to get a pixel as my next assuming graphene OS is still able to be loaded.

Don’t give the idiots ideas

Back when smartphones actually had big leaps in tech in made sense pre 2015 or so. Now, it’s very small interative changes. It makes no sense.

I just installed pop!_os am I safe?

Out of Egypt is fire.

Works on wifi just fine. That’s what I do. I just have mine sitting in a random closet.
